Quiet HUGE 3br2ba Condo Ceramic/CLEAN/Parking

One of Blacksburg's best kept secrets: There are a handful of 3 BR units at Brightwood Manor. This is one of them. VERY CLEAN, RECENT RENOVATION, SPACIOUS, SMOKE-FREE, PET-ALLERGEN FREE,
3 bedroom condominium with two full bathrooms. Bedrooms are well-spaced for privacy with 2 BR and 1 Bath at one side and the Master BR and 1 Bath at the other. Like a sprawling ranch house without the yard work!
VERY CONVENIENT to everything! Lots of parking so NO need for hangtags or parking stickers. BT Bus stop at the foot of the driveway. Bike route goes under highway directly to VT campus. From Downtown Blacksburg take Prices Fork Road; driveway is the 2nd left after cross 460 Bypass.

AVAILABILITY: The current residents are considering making it available in mid to late May 2011, please ask for details. Our units (all in quiet areas and maintained by landlords who really care) open up randomly throughout the year as we assist our residents by posting their units as soon as they let us know they are moving and will no longer need the residence. The majority of our residents renew year after year and move only when they no longer need a rental residence in the Blacksburg area. 902 #2 Brightwood Manor Drive is leased through the last week of July 2011. However, the tenants are very likely to move-out earlier in the summer, and would be very happy if someone started their lease shortly after they move. The next lease would end July 2012 or the following July, if the new tenant decides to save money by locking-in the rent with a two year lease.

WELL-MAINTAINED & VERY EASY TO KEEP CLEAN: Ceramic floors everywhere, except bedrooms which are carpeted. We urge residents to tell us when something needs attention because we want to maintain things so they do not break. Paint on walls is very durable and scrubbable. We regularly ask residents to alert us to anything loose, dripping, or just does not seem quite right; so things can be fixed before they break.

MAINTENANCE: We try very hard to answer, promptly, residents' calls for assistance - day, night, weekends and even on holidays.

SPACIOUS: 1260+ square feet of well-planned space. NO space wasted on stairwells. All hallways serve dual purpose of being access to the large rooms and for access to the numerous closets. Over NINE foot high ceilings; so you can use the space on top of regular height bookcases for more items. Plenty of space for over-sized items above very durable kitchen cabinets. Large pantry area. Washer and dryer are in lit closets with still more shelving.
PLUS: Dry, covered Patio walks out onto lawn effectively enlarging your living space.
PLUS: Common area Foyer for the building provides even more indoor space.

BRIGHT: Lots of natural lighting during the day during the winter and tree shading patio during summer. Many built-in light fixtures for lots of light, even in closets.

ENERGY-SAVING FEATURES: Has Heat Pump but rarely do tenants ever turn on AC. Naturally cool in summer. Ground floor unit; so the Earth keeps it warm in winter. 52 inch reversible ceiling fans with lights in all rooms which cool in summer and bring warm air down from 9 foot ceilings in winter. All windows and Patio door are double pane. Patio door swings and has a deadbolt so seals much better than a typical sliding patio door. Owner has lived in the unit so can share additional tips for conserving.

VERY QUIET Location. Occasionally the sheep might wake you, perhaps once a year. Otherwise, most people move to Brightwood Manor to live quietly. When apartment/condo/townhouse/house hunting please come by any night and likely you will hear very little except some "neighborhood" type sounds, not loud parties. Please do come by on Thursday through Sunday evenings and you would find it hard to find a loud party. If you hear much noise, please do let us know! Brightwood Manor is known for its tranquility, and we want to keep it that way so people like you can have a quiet place to call home.
There are nice, relaxing VIEWS out windows and off patio.

UTILITIES: Water/sewer/trash pick-up included. CAT-5 computer, TV and telephone cabling to virtually all rooms. Comcast and Verizon DSL are available.

MORE INFO: Two full baths; one has two sinks with a door providing privacy for tub and toilet. Refrigerator, range, dishwasher, garbage disposal, microwave, full-sized washer & dryer (with energy-saving booster fan). Great closets and many of them.

MINIMAL ALLERGENS: Since renovations we have not allowed smoking nor any uncaged pets. Unlike many units at Brightwood Manor, your clothes dryer will vent to the outside of the building through a well-designed ventilation system, complete with booster fan. Also, there are exhaust fans in both bathrooms and over the kitchen stove.

PET POLICY: No uncaged pets and nothing that is capable of making noise heard outside the unit even with the windows open. No outdoor pets.
SMOKING POLICY: No smoking in our units or on the patios or balconies.
These policies allow our residents who have moved to our units, often to avoid noise and smoke and pet allergens to not have them around, even coming through their open windows from another of our units or left behind by previous occupants of the units.

CHECK OUR WEBSITE, please: Many photos, maps, plus floorplans of our units on our website. We even have aerial photos! Please call for that website address (Hint: Google our company name Forests Edge) as we are not permitted to post it here. 540-961-0138....

Thank you very much for considering renting one of our 9 units. Since we are not a big company just, literally, a "Mom and Pop," for the last 20 years we have tried very hard to personalize our service to all our residents. Apparently, we must do OK because our residents tend to renew year after year until they move out of town, buy a home, or need a type of place we can not offer. Specifically with 902 #2: 902 #2 was passed amongst upper classmen and graduate students for nine years, and, when one of them came back into town to work years later, she was disappointed to learn it was already leased.
